The TPP and other 'trade' agreements are a corporate scam. blackspade Jan 2015 #21

Krugman does not believe that it represents a corporate coup d'etat. WorldNut Daily agrees with you. pampango Jan 2015 #22

Krugman is against it, and so am I. I'm not sure why you needed the WND smear. arcane1 Jan 2015 #27

Krugman is not against it. He thinks it is no big deal one way or the other. pampango Jan 2015 #33

Actually most republicans don't like it and most Democrats do though pampango Jan 2015 #35

That's been your entire argument on the thread, though Scootaloo Jan 2015 #52

No. The fact that republicans oppose it and Democrats support it does not make it good or right. pampango Jan 2015 #53
